Paint It Black (metal cover by Leo Moracchioli)

[@slayton21]

What I like the most about Leo's covers is how respectful they are to the original material. No matter how creative he gets, I can feel he 100% respected the original spirit of each authors' work. And now he did it again with my favourite Rolling Stones' song. Simply fantastic~

[@tippinonmyha1321]

What I love about him. He only covers a song respectfully. No matter how rediculous it gets lol.

[@jadeSLenin]

One of my favorites too. He did a kick-ass jam of it!

[@rhuebner82]

[@spaden777]

Yes! Alot of covers ditch the iconic guitar rifts, but he emphasizes it transitioning into the heavier chords.
